Dance Grants
DANCE MATTERS
FAB’s grants promote artistic expression and create inclusive spaces. FAB SUPPORTS inclusive community-based dance initiatives, SUSTAINS the creation of high-quality dance works, and ENCOURAGES the growth of talent in our arts dance community.


For nearly 15 years, funding from Funding Arts Broward has supported more than 20 unique ballets — including eight critically-acclaimed world premiere commissions that added into Miami City Ballet’s expansive repertoire. In 2025, FAB’s support will bring to life MCB's highly anticipated, compelling new take on the iconic story of Carmen from choreographic rising star Annabelle Lopez-Ochoa.

The Fort Lauderdale Children's Ballet Theatre is deeply grateful for the grant funding we have received, which has been transformative for our ballet nonprofit organization. FAB's support has empowered us to enhance our programs, reach a broader audience, and provide even more opportunities for our community to engage with the art of dance. The funding has allowed us to grow as an organization, ensuring that we can continue to inspire, educate, and uplift through the power of dance. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a lasting impact.

Miami, a contemporary dance company and ballet companies, Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, Miami City Ballet, and South Florida Ballet Theater.
Educational Programs
Our support of local children’s ballet companies help integrate dance into the community while promoting dance education.

FAB is proud to be supporting the Broward Performing Arts Foundation with a 2025 grant to help fund MOMIX’s newest show “Alice!”.
